Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Loved this Spring Break Business in China program! The guides from the Asia Institute (AI) are some of the nicest, most welcoming people I have ever met. Not only was the trip informative and gave us a "behind the scenes" view of various businesses in China, but we were able to make contacts with managers and employees from these businesses for our future China business endeavors. We definitely made some special bonds with the people from AI and still talk to them this day. Thank you guys for making this such a memorable trip!
